Shirley, Vanessa brings back memoires of Cedar Point week ends at the cabin for her birthdays. Running around the park with walkie talkies and no connection. The only way the girls could find us was because I purchased that crazy beanie at the entrance. Our trip to Mackinaw's Grand Hotel and swimming in the Ester Williams pool, touring around in the horse pulled carriage and of course her infectious giggle laugh. My beautiful niece will always be a part of my heart which will shine in that beautiful baby boy, Vance. Love you Sister
